Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 onion, chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

3/4 cup red lentils, picked over and rinsed

Set Sun Oven out to preheat.

In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic then the cumin, chili powder, and paprika. Stir in the lentils, sweet potato, white potato, and apples. Add enough water to cover the mixture by 1 1/2 inches. Cover and transfer to the Sun Oven. Cook until the lentils and potatoes are soft, about 1 hour. Remove pot from the Sun Oven. Using an immersion blender, puree until smooth. Add the milk if using. Season with salt.
